What do you guys think.CR
That (440 in a Duster) is a GOOD combo for IHRA and Michael Beard probably dosent remember the car my friend Phil Baldiccino who now has an A/PS 63 Max Wedge had a long time ago when the crate motored classes first came out. I did a set of heads for it and the short block was a basic TRW (heavy pistons) and the car flew under the index (mid ten's) big time . Then he got crazy and built the Hemi 68 'Cuda for B/CM and spent a LOT of money and broke some Hemi engines on the dyno and in the car. That Hemi s##t ain't cheap ! Spend a LOT of money then got smart and returned to a Max Wedge combo. Several years lost and a ton of money lost with the hi dollar stuff. Point is....build a basic combo thats easy on parts and tires. Avaliable parts that are dirt cheap to get and just race and have fun. It sure beats working on it all the time and spending money you dont have, to buy parts you dont need, to impress other racers , just to go fast.
